And it wasn’t the sea. It was the ocean. Lettie Hempstock’s ocean. I remembered that, and, remembering that, I remembered everything.
“One of Bandler and Grinder’s early books was entitled The Structure of Magic, and as Arthur C. Clarke once said: ‘Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic.’ Many people have drawn similar conclusions regarding NLP.”

“This phenomenon was beautifully captured in a 1998 article for Red Herring magazine called “Why Most Economists’ Predictions Are Wrong.” It was written by Paul Krugman, himself an economist, who went on to win the Nobel Prize.* Krugman points out that too many economists’ predictions fail because they overestimate the impact of future technologies, and then he makes a few predictions of his own. Here’s one: “The growth of the Internet will slow drastically, as the flaw in ‘Metcalfe’s law’—which states that the number of potential connections in a network is proportional to the square of the number of participants—becomes apparent: most people have nothing to say to each other! By 2005 or so, it will become clear that the Internet’s impact on the economy has been no greater than the fax machine’s.”

“NLP is not a model of psychopathology (study of mental illness). NLP makes no diagnoses about a person’s mental health or illness. Its focus is purely on results. It proposes that people are not broken – they work perfectly to produce the results they are getting even if the results are not desirable. If a person doesn’t like the results they are getting, NLP provides tools to help them get the results they desire.”

“It isn’t only that we know less than we pretend about the outside world; we don’t even know ourselves all that well. Most people are terrible at the seemingly simple task of assessing their own talents. As two psychologists recently put it in an academic journal: “Despite spending more time with themselves than with any other person, people often have surprisingly poor insight into their skills and abilities.” A classic example: when asked to rate their driving skills, roughly 80 percent of respondents rated themselves better than the average driver.”
